Fort McMurray & Wood Buffalo Communications
We help operators, contractors, municipal teams and community organizations in Fort McMurray and the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo prepare for emergencies, engage communities and work with the media.
Communications for Wood Buffalo
Fort McMurray sits where the Clearwater and Athabasca rivers meet, at the centre of a municipality that covers more than 60,000 square kilometres. The 2016 wildfire and the 2020 ice-jam flood both forced evacuations across the region.
We help organizations write crisis plans and prepare spokespeople before an emergency, plan engagement with communities near operations and work with local and national media.
Media training and crisis exercises are delivered in person in Fort McMurray.
